Mathematics and Sport Science

Our three-year combined BSc degree covers a broad base of classical and contemporary theory across both disciplines and has been designed to be fresh and relevant to the wider industry.

Sport and Exercise Science is equally rooted in our distant human beginnings and anchored to our present state. It explores how the human body performs under different levels of pressure and covers broad issues from wider participation in sports, including anatomy and nutrition.

Mathematics involves precision, complexity, and elegant simplicity; this degree allows you to shape your studies by choosing between two exciting pathways: Mathematical Modelling or Statistics, giving you the ability to follow the themes that inspire you the most.

You will have hands‑on access to our cutting‑edge Biomechanics Laboratory, home to an advanced motion‑analysis system that allows you to explore human movement in exceptional detail. Your learning will also take you into our Exercise Physiology Laboratory, where you will work closely with specialist equipment, including exercise ergometers, lung‑function testing systems, blood‑analysis tools, and muscle‑function assessment technology.

Alongside this practical experience, you will develop a deeper understanding of mathematical logic and its real‑world applications, gaining highly sought‑after transferable skills that give you a strong advantage in the graduate job market.
